Can you use webbing for an anchor? Yes, but...

You could come up a little short and you're going to let the carabiners grind and side load because it's a bitch to retie all those runners.

This is canyoneering rope, which is not really static. The bowline with no stopper knot goes to a bent gate carabiner (easier opening). Bonus points for the stopper doing nothing.

A clove hitch is OK for a belay when it is right in front of your face, not 40 feet away and out of sight.

When you use 9/16" webbing and 8 MM cord, I guess you want the anchor high to stay off the rock.

You can't side load the carabiners unless you have two anchors.

Nobody used the enormous tree, but made a spider's web from its roots.

Think about a way to go under somebody's ropes.
